Gates 28461 HVAC Heater Hose

90 Degree Molded Heater Hose for Tight Bends

Gates 28461 is a 90 degree molded heater hose built for coolant and HVAC routing where a sharp bend is required. With EPDM construction and a molded shape, it helps replace formed hoses in applications that need a clean 90 degree turn without forcing the hose to kink.

This 90 Degree Molded Heater Hose line is offered in multiple sizes to cover a wide range of vehicle heater and coolant routing needs. Gates 28461 is sized at 1/2 in. inside diameter on both ends, with a 90 degree angle, 16 in. centerline length, and 4 in. / 12 in. arm lengths.

What This Hose Helps Solve

• Replaces a heater hose that must make a tight 90 degree turn
• Addresses cracked, hardened, or leaking coolant hose sections
• Helps restore proper coolant flow in heater and HVAC circuits
• Supports routing where a straight hose would kink or collapse
• Provides a formed replacement for select OE-style hose paths on Suzuki, Chevrolet, Mazda, and Toyota applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inside diameter, centerline length, and arm lengths before installation. Gates 28461 is a molded hose, so confirm the routing path matches the 90 degree shape and the vehicle-specific connection points listed above. On applications marked cut to fit, trim only as needed and check clearance around nearby components before final clamp-up.
